Meanwhile, the singer's follow-up to 2009's "It's Not Me, It's You" is officially in motion: a press release confirms that Cooper is recording new music written "over the past few months." In June, the singer posted on Twitter[3], ""You will be pleased to know that I am currently in the fucking studio with @GregKurstin," a producer who was integral to her "It's Not Me, It's You" work.

"It's great to work at my own pace, with no commitments other than to make music," Cooper said in a statement on Thursday (Aug. 2). "I'm excited to be heading back into the studio."

"It's Not Me, It's You" followed the singer's breakout 2006 debut "Alright, Still," which featured the singles "LDN" and "Smile." "5 O'Clock," a T-Pain[4] single featuring Cooper and Wiz Khalifa[5], cracked the Top 10 of the Hot 100 late last year.
